About Sitting Pugs
June 8, 2007 by sittingpugs
I love movies, football, and movies about football. This blog grew out of my desire to continue writing about football movies beyond what I had done for my Master’s Thesis on the sport in television and cinema.
I’ve grown quite partial to the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and of course, the Atlanta Falcons (they’re local; it was during a Falcons game in late October 2006 that I realized I was truly a football fan). I can’t say if i prefer the college game or the professional game. I would very much like to attend a football game, but securing tickets is not as simple as buying concert tickets. My alma mater has no football program, so I can’t go there. Georgia Tech, however, does have a football team. They can certainly be an option. Too bad I don’t know anyone who can get me a non-student ticket.
I hope you enjoy your stay here–tell your friends!
I am all about sharing and spreading the love for sports and cinema. I am not, however, a supporter of textual xeroxing without proper acknowledgment. If you would like to use any of the content from this blog for any reason, please provide a link to the entry you are referencing OR a simple credit of “Sittingpugs.wordpress.com” and send me an email regarding the context in which you will be quoting or paraphrasing my words.

Yes, but do you have any pugs?
CORRECTION Texans 1st TD was a PASS to Kevin Walter
you said and I quote “The culminating act of Houston’s first possession was a touchdown by running back Darius Walker.”
Ah! Thank you for pointing that out, Texansfan2000. I think I hallucinated “Darius Walker.”
over 150 and this is the first time I didn’t catch a mistake before i went to print. Much obliged. I fixed the entry.
Hi!
I am Miki, from Cafe Crem, you might remember, the discussion about Women and Science Fiction
I am very impressed by your personality, you seem to be so unusual. I find the theme of your thesis incredibly interesting and so unusual for a woman…
I love sport myself, and have practiced many different ones, adn i really believe that sport is very important, for oneself and for society.
Congratulations!
Hi I’m Michael from Cafe Crem where I am an author there.
Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to think things out. The result was I am touched. Deeply.
Feel free to contact me anytime. It is late so I will tell you I am off to watch No Country For Old Men. I am a writer and and enjoy Cormac McCarthy’s books very much.
Now to see how the Cohen Brothers did with his book. They won an Academy Award for its adaptation. I’ll reserve my opinion for later.
Kindest,
Michael
bonus+ I am available to help in any way with your thesis. Young people to me inspire me and that is what keeps me going. As I right this the clock is 1/2 hour away from the 26th of March and I will have made it to 53. Imagine that!!!
Hello, SittingPugs. I find your blog to be very, very interesting. I like it a lot, I also love cinema.

Your blog does not enlighten me, then again nothing really does. Freud doesn’t know anything by the way.
I guess you don’t think a quiet love can be preferable to a loud or exaggerated one?
I don’t put too much stock in Freud’s theories. His ideas on the Id, Ego, and Superego aren’t all bollocks.
There are plenty of things I want to do, could do, and should or should not do. I’m all for attributing motives and conflicting agendas to separate corners of the mind.
Why do people post messages like that. “You aren’t enlightening. Nothing enlightens me.” Maybe they’re jealous they don’t get such nice compliments on their blogs.
To Poetblue, comparing the number of hits Sitting Pugs has received vs. the number of comments, the praise is beside the point? negligible even? ^&^
I also don’t recall promising enlightenment. This here’s a sports blog….if one isn’t down with the balls and the nets, it doesn’t matter how earth-shatteringly illuminating I aim to write….
if that were a priority.
hey, thanks for dropping by the site - i understand what you mean about keeping up with technology, but I wonder if some of these technologies will turn out to be fads or merely a good idea? Is there a line we need to draw in order to not go overboard learning new apps, and just focusing on what works?
and skin care, hair care - i’ll make do. if things get tight, I’ll buzz my head… i’ll be saving on shampoo!
no pets, not yet, anyway.
